Economists have long anticipated a jump in apartment building, but few expected anything like this year's surge. Rental construction has increased by 36% in Phoenix, 67% in Denver and 145% in Miami. In such metropolitan areas as Boston, Atlanta, Houston and front-running Dallas, more apartments are now going up than one-family houses. That condition has long prevailed in New York City, whose prosaic brick or concrete residential towers command attention mostly by sheer size. The current behemoth is Co-Op City, a 15,400-apartment complex now rising on the site of a former swamp...
